3 Months of sun and dry but our SOCAL Summer in the PNW may be ending.
Normal wet weather predicted for next week.
Nice today, 8-27, mid 80's, so out for a 100 mile drive in the Snoqualmie valley,
where the corn is higher than a roadster and the barns are beautiful!.

I had a camera for a few days, so I ran around and took some photos...

After a LONG week at work, and a LONG saturday cleaning up the yard after the storm, i figured a cool 25 miler to Bugar King and back was in order.

It was way too hot today for the roadster today.. But as it started getting closer to sunset and the sky was beautiful, and I knew it would probably be down in the 80s up there, so..

The local hills were closed for the holiday weekend, so I was thrilled they were open today..

Always a great view to downtown LA..

Wow I wonder how a roadster might look with pipes in the air up through the back panel maybe ... is this what your thinking ... :smt002

Like the 918, they are sold out and only made 918 of them Drats!

Thursday, 9-10-15. Great 175 mile drive with Rick (RBMann).
Bit of a rough start as the electronic ignition parts Rick had just replaced were faulty.
We were on the way to visit Pebbles so he limped back home, made repairs and rejoined me at Pebbles place.
Pebbles has a new 10,000 lb lift in the addition he built on to his shop
We drove into the Cascade foothills to Lake Riley.
Pebbles had to work at 2 so could not join us.
At work is where he has time to do all his posting! :shock:
This old DIVCO milk truck has been in the same spot for a decade,
Snoqualmie valley corn with Mt Rainier behind my roadster, if you look close enough.

I agree.
Been putting it off as the Watanabe caps are $100 a set and I need 2 sets!
The front and rear wheel center bores are different diameter.
I think Linda is going to buy them for me for Christmas as she wants my roadsters to be PERFECT.
Thanks Linda! :smt008

I think you are getting a lump of coal for Xmas, because you have accumulated too many brat points...... :roll:
Plus it annoys Notoptoy when wheels don't have center caps. :mrgreen:
And I don't have center caps either- which is perfect.

Sadly-Linda has passed away 2022. She was the 311's den mother and drove the first Rare-Parts ball joint project. RIP.
